Beck–De Loera–Develin–Pfeifle–Stanley conjecture on roots of Ehrhart polynomials

About 15 years old · traced to

Let PP be a lattice DD-polytope, and let its Ehrhart polynomial have complex roots. For a root α\alpha, write ℜ(α)\Re(\alpha) for its real part. Beck–De Loera–Develin–Pfeifle–Stanley conjecture. All roots α\alpha of Ehrhart polynomials of lattice DD-polytopes satisfy

−D≤ℜ(α)≤D−1.-D \leq \Re(\alpha) \leq D-1.

The conjecture concerns the location of Ehrhart-polynomial roots in a vertical strip determined by the dimension of the polytope; the source gives no resolution status, so its status is recorded as open.
